Thanks for reporting that one on here. As you know I've been watching that thread with interest. If you post the information Webslinger asked for, it can help Slysoft determine where the problem may lie. Thanks!

Yes, the problem is not fixed yet in ver.6.1.9.0.
(Sorry to post immediately, I thougut author recognizes not to fix yet, because not written in change log (several DVD were written to be fixed.))

Is this problem caused from SPRM(14) ?
Title 13 and 14 are similar contents which replayed after main movie when audio is selected Japanese.
Title 13 is replayed only when SPRM(14)=3072, Title 14 is when SPRM(14) is other values, this is decided in VMGM_PGC_9.
But AnyDVD seems to recognise Title 13 as unplayable, but Title 14 as playable.

By Virtual Player Setup of PgcEdit,
SPRM(14)=1, when 4:3 TV - Display as 16:9 as Letterboxed.
SPRM(14)=0, when 4:3 TV - Display as 16:9 as Pan & Scan.
SPRM(14)=3072, when 16:9 TV.

SPRM(14) shouldn't be the problem, as AI scanner handles this situation, but I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip!

I confirmed by player.
With hard player, title 13 is replayed when set 16:9, title 14 is replayed when set 4:3.
With soft player, I can find setting in only JetAudioPlayer, but title 14 is always replayed when set 16:9 and 4:3.

I am not really interested what PathPlayer does or does not.
If I understand you correctly, only point (2) is the problem, correct?
Out of curiosity, does the DVD play fine whith AnyDVD HD enabled, or does it "hang" when player tries to play VTS07? Can you copy the disc with CloneDVD2? (Little test for the "junk replacement" code )

From what I see, AIScanner completely removes VTS07 (Title 13), but it also removes Title 2 (VTS01 PGC2) and Title 15 (VTS01 PGC3)

Can you check, that removing Title 2 & Title 15 is ok? Or is this anything important?

Yes, I see it, you're right. I am puzzled why AIScanner doesn't probe both branches, it actually should try with different values (and I have seen it work on other discs). I have added more debug output in the next version, maybe I can see it then.

Yes. I think only (2) is related with AI Scanner.

I think it will be assumed by reading command.
It will not "hang" because it jumps to VTSM root-menu by postcommand.
Do you need to test? If so, I'll do bacause it is easy.

Do you mean "remove" is to replace with dummy cell?
If so, I think there is no problem, because cells of both title is never replayed by precommand which jump to title 1 or VTS roor-menu.

I've tested, and the result was as same as what is assumed.
According to setting of DVD hard player,
(1)when setting 4:3 Letterboxed which is corresponding to SPRM(14)=1,
__replay main movie(title 1) => replay title 14 =>replay(return) root menu (main menu)
(2)when setting 16:9 which is corresponding to SPRM(14)=3072,
__replay main movie(title 1) => replay title 13(dummy cell) => replay(return) root menu (main menu)

edit(adding)
About softplayer on PC, title 13 is never replayed, title 14 is always replayed.
I suppose it is because PC doesn't have SPRM like DVD hardplayer.
